Ask Ken at Palisades

Ooooh, no you didn't. LOL! Well that's better than all the Muppets speaking German I guess. Oh, geez, now you got me doing it!

maybe it's just because I'm half asleep, but can you imagine Pepe trying to speak German?

heh...speaking of international incidents, am i the only one that wants to see Bjork on an episode of the new Muppet show?

Swedish Chef: "Bork Bork Bork"
Bjork: "Yes?"

and then he tries to cook her swan dress. well, at 3am it's funny...

I was wondering, Beauregard only comes with a mop and bucket right? Well if there's no base included in the packaging thus freeing up some space inside the bubble, would it be feasible for Beauregard to come with his harmonica as well? If the variant figure with tools is released, would there be space for the harmonica if it's not included in the regular version?

Beauregard is so not planned out right now. By that I mean even I don't know what he will be packed with yet.

Are there plans to make the playset figures available as individual figures through some special deal like the collector's club or on your website?

No, as that would possibly detract from playset sales and also cheese off anyone who bought a playset just for a figure when they are not typically a playset collector.

So Ken, when are you off to China again?

One week from today I get on a plane bound for Asia again. Joy. On the plus side, there is a ton of work to do out there and a friend of mine from Plan B will be there a week or so during my tour of duty, which will be three and a half weeks. The negative side is these trips are taxing in every way possible.

Are there any possibilities of having a Disney exclusive figure?

If they were ever interested we'd do it, but considering they only ordered about ten cases of regular figures I doubt they would be. The MOQ for an exclusive is fairly high.

Probably the only question that no one (here) has "asked Ken" yet:

Dude, do you ever sleep? it's 3:30am here, so it's like what, 5:30 there? if you aren't careful, you're going to find that your alarm clock is quiet too...

Well that would get around the voice chip problems, and it'd make a lovely retirement gift for Charlie Rivkin ! ;-)

Actually this is all not a bad idea for a Muppet DVD or something. They could have an extras section where you can watch the Muppets speaking in all the different languages they are dubbed in, like the Simpsons DVD's. I for one would like to see Gonzo speaking chinese !

I had that on a Song of the South laserdisc a while back. There was a Japanese language channel. Freaky.

Yeah I know...sick this weekend, so I have been tossing and turning. Woke up in the middle of the night and started surfing the net.
